Its not secret that general manager Steve Yzerman faces huge challenges this upcoming off season, will loads of work to be done concerning the overall rebuild of the Detroit Red Wings. In the event that Yzerman doesn't re-sign Patrick Kane or verteran David Perron, who should Yzerman call up to fill the huge void left behind? One shining light for the Grand Rapids Griffins (Detroit's AHL farm affiliate) is Amadeus Lombardi, who has made massive strides last year.
Lombardi (21) was drafted 113th in the 2022 NHL draft and could be poised to making his highly anticipated pro debut next season. Last season with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Lombardi notched 5 goals and 21 assists in 71 regular season games. Although sources have speculated his offensive potential is yet to fully be unleashed, some exposure in the NHL might help help take his game to the next level. Could we see the likes of Amadeus Lombardi being called up to the NHL next season?
